Title: running behind a router
Post by: the doctor on December 07, 2004, 01:30:46 AM
I have a linksys befrsr41 router, and I forwarded port 80 to a static ip that I created for a single computer plugged into that router. I also Disabled 'block wan requests' and I can't get to hfs from a remote location. I can ping the wan ip from a remote location but thats it.

any ideas??

Check for firewall, and try another port for HFS.

If I try to use any port but '80' when I go to the wan ip I get my router login screen only. I can ping my router from a remote location, but thats it.  Any help would be appreciated...

Set HFS to use whichever port you want to use (example: port 12345).   Find out what local IP Address your router is assigning to the machine that is running HFS (example: 192.168.1.100)

Then login to your router and set it up to forward HTTP on port 12345 to IP Address 192.168.1.100

I have the same router and that works for me.
